The Fool: the Original Form of Things
The Fool: the Original Form of Things, 2021
Performance: 18 min.



Channelling the archetype of the Fool which symbolizes continuous flux, and interweaving the supposedly logical with the boldly non-sensical, the work searches for what the self has to do with shape-shifting, togetherness, attachment and loss.

The images were taken during its last iteration in the context of my solo exhibition at Dunant Plaza in Heiden, spring 2021. Curated by Lea Schaffner.
